What makes you tick?

Single or married people. I have a question...How do you know if a person is "THE ONE"?? What do you personally look for??? Does the feeling hit you like a lighting bolt...Or should it sneak up on you? Love is a beautiful thing, it comes in all shapes,sizes and colors. BUT! Whats the tying factor that makes you want to take that leap???? To look into a persons eyes and say...your the one.

ilikebirds #4.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

any cookie she wants... usually ends up being a thai cookie

hunkpapap #4.1.1.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

fivezero #4.2 fivezeroOG 2003

Thats the problem, for anyone that has been in a relationship before its not easy to let go....a person you may have thought to be the ONE may not be, so when you have a second chance your going to have doubts, and your not going know.

bah! i have the PERFECT theory for this but i know i will get critized for it ...

are you ready? It's "nothing helps you get over the last one like the next one" ...

as in ... when you a relationship ends, take the time to get over it, whine, kick stuff, take your time doing it - but when the time has come to STOP whining, JUST DO IT ALREADY. Don't keep milking it.

Then, go out, buy some new clothes or whatever, and just go out and have fun. And keep one eye open. heh.

fivezero #3.1.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

I agree with this. NEXT!

socalgal #3.1.1.2 socalgalOG 2003

i agree with you on this one

hunkpapap #3.1.1.3 hunkpapapOG 2003

well i agree this helps your emotions, but in the long run it doesn't help to run to the next in line right away. Why did it not work? What do you need to work on? What am I really looking for?

Believe me....I did get to a point in my live were I was feeling pretty good for myself....everything seemed to be in order (good job,pioneering,new apt)you name it.But then everything seemed to fall apart. I got sick, and even though I'm content with my life...I feel alot of people can't see past a certain point when it comes to people or relationships.

beachbum #3.1.2 beachbumOG 2002

i have to disagree. i was in that situation. once i had the courage to let go i immediately realized how wrong i had been. i had so many questions and doubts about things while we were together but i forced the idea of getting married or that he was THE ONE. but then i was happy on my own for a while. i met my husband a couple of years later and i had not one doubt in my mind. it's like how do the anointed know they are? they just know. if they have to ask questions, they aren't. if you have a lot of questions about whether someone is the ONE, most likely they aren't. don't settle for less.

I actually met katie and didnt wanna get to know her more, cause the more i learned about her the more i liked her, and i was very anti girls at that point. But it happened. And did know right away that I would marry her.

iwz #2.1 iwz

read: katie got him to turn straight

superhero #2.1.1 superheroOG 2004

i still don't think he's straight, so i dunno about that one zabel

rocksupastar #2.1.1.1 rocksupastarFounder

this coming from a guy that matches all the time... and who likes to clean...

iwz iwz

dude, I hate to clean/do dishes. But I like to help out as much as I can to make my wife's/other people's lives easier.

I think many people have fear when it comes there feelings. Like you said( you didn't want to get to know her because the more you knew the more you liked her)Then after that something made you change...what? I guess many factors come into play, BUT!
I guess you never really know until that moment when you can just ...let go and give yourselve ( body,mind, and soul)

suchgr8heights #2.3 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

why were you anti-girls?

hunkpapap #2.3.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

you've obviously never had to deal with them on a relationship basis...

suchgr8heights #2.3.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

umm derrr. but I was wondering what rocksupasta's reasoning was.

iwz iwz

what he's stating is universal.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

i had 1 to many bad experiences and didnt want to deal with girls anymore...

juicymango #1 juicymangoOG 2003

I wasn't really looking at the time, but I pretty much had an idea in my head of what I wanted in a guy. I was single for the first time in years, and I was just getting to know a bunch of guys, as friends. It was quite a learning experience! And then I met Chris. And we knew we were gonna get married pretty much right away. When you meet someone and you're constantly saying the same things at the same time, you like pretty much all the same things, you laugh together at the same stupid things, you're not afraid to be completely yourself with him ... it's a beautiful thing.
